We consider operators acting in the space C(X) (X is a compact topological space) of the form $Au\left(x\right)=\left({\sum }_{k=1}^N{e}^{{\phi }_k}{T}_{{\alpha }_k}\right)u\left(x\right)={\sum }_{k=1}^N{e}^{{\phi }_k\left(x\right)}u\left({\alpha }_k\left(x\right)\right)$, u ∈ C(X), where ${\phi }_k\in C\left(X\right)$ and ${\alpha }_k:X\to X$ are given continuous mappings (1 ≤ k ≤ N). A new formula on the logarithm of the spectral radius r(A) is obtained. The logarithm of r(A) is defined as a nonlinear functional λ depending on the vector of functions $\phi ={\left({\phi }_k\right)}_{k=1}^N$. We prove that $ln\left(r\left(A\right)\right)=\lambda \left(\phi \right)=ma{x}_{\nu \in Mes}{\sum }_{k=1}^N{\int }_X{\phi }_{k}d{\nu }_k-\lambda *\left(\nu \right)$, where Mes is the set of all probability vectors of measures $\nu ={\left({\nu }_k\right)}_{k=1}^N$ on X × 1,..., N and λ* is some convex lower-semicontinuous functional on $\left(C^N\left(X\right)\right)*$. In other...

We prove that for the spectral radius of a weighted composition operator $a{T}_{\alpha }$, acting in the space $L^p(X,,\mu )$, the following variational principle holds: $lnr\left(a{T}_{\alpha }\right)=ma{x}_{\nu \in M{¹}_{\alpha ,e}}{\int }_{X}ln\left|a\right|d\nu$, where X is a Hausdorff compact space, α: X → X is a continuous mapping preserving a Borel measure μ with suppμ = X, $M{¹}_{\alpha ,e}$ is the set of all α-invariant ergodic probability measures on X, and a: X → ℝ is a continuous and ${}_{\infty }$-measurable function, where ${}_{\infty }={\bigcap }_{n=0}^{\infty }{\alpha }^{-n}\left(\right)$. This considerably extends the range of validity of the above formula, which was previously known in the case...

The paper studies spectral sets of elements of Banach algebras as the zeros of holomorphic functions and describes them in terms of existence of idempotents. A new decomposition theorem characterizing spectral sets is obtained for bounded linear operators.

The paper defines and studies the Drazin inverse for a closed linear operator $A$ in a Banach space $X$ in the case that $0$ belongs to a spectral set of the spectrum of $A$. Results are applied to extend a result of Krein on a nonhomogeneous second order differential equation in a Banach space.

On reflexive spaces trigonometrically well-bounded operators have an operator-ergodic-theory characterization as the invertible operators U such that $su{p}_{n\in \mathbb{N},z\in }\left|\right|{\sum }_{0<\left|k\right|\le n}(1-|k|/(n+1))k^{-1}{z}^k{U}^k\left|\right|<\infty$. (*) Trigonometrically well-bounded operators permeate many settings of modern analysis, and this note highlights the advances in both their spectral theory and operator ergodic theory made possible by a recent rekindling of interest in the R. C. James inequalities for super-reflexive spaces. When the James inequalities are combined with Young-Stieltjes...

To every elliptic SG pseudo-differential operator with positive orders, we associate the minimal and maximal operators on $L^p\left(ℝⁿ\right)$, 1 < p < ∞, and prove that they are equal. The domain of the minimal ( = maximal) operator is explicitly computed in terms of a Sobolev space. We prove that an elliptic SG pseudo-differential operator is Fredholm. The essential spectra of elliptic SG pseudo-differential operators with positive orders and bounded SG pseudo-differential operators with orders 0,0 are computed....

We study a class of operator polynomials in Hilbert space which are spectraloid in the sense that spectral radius and numerical radius coincide. The focus is on the spectrum in the boundary of the numerical range. As an application, the Eneström-Kakeya-Hurwitz theorem on zeros of real polynomials is generalized to Hilbert space.

A new concept of spectrum for a solvable Lie algebra of operators is introduced, extending the Taylor spectrum for commuting tuples. This spectrum has the projection property on any Lie subalgebra and, for algebras of compact operators, it may be computed by means of a variant of the classical Ringrose theorem.
